Jack White has given fans an early preview of a brand new song titled ‘High Ball Stepper’.
The instrumental will be featured on Jack’s second solo album ‘Lazaretto’ in June on his own Third Man Records.
White has listed the musicians on the track as:
Jack White: Electric Guitar
Carla Azar: Drums
Catherine Popper: Bass
Lillie Mae Rische: Fiddle
Brooke Waggoner: Piano
Maggie Björklund: Pedal Steel
Ruby Amanfu: Vocals Effects, Tambourine
The title track from the album ‘Lazaretto’ has been confirmed as the official first single from the album.
White is aiming for a world record by making the track the fastest record ever made. On the morning of Record Store Day, April 19, Jack White will play at The Blue Room at his Third Man Records shopfront in Nashville. He will perform and record ‘Lazaretto’ direct to acetate. The recording will go next door to United Record Pressing and made into 45rpm 7 inch vinyl singles complete with artwork from the performance. The singles will be made to order and continue to be manufactured for everyone standing online.
